Chapter 26: Where’s Ella?
The night was getting darker, but the atmosphere in the bar was getting busier and full of laughter.
It was the biggest bar in town. Just by seeing the building, people would instantly know how unique and luxurious the place was to the outside world.
Inside the bar, there were many men and women with different styles of clothing, dancing on the dance floor. No matter where they came from, they came to this place to have fun.
The bar door suddenly opened wide. Christian stomped and walked in with an extraordinary aura, making several people who were relaxing at their desk turn and look at him.
Even though he only wore a work coat, it was hard to hide his charm.
Once inside the bar, Christian looked around the room, looking for something. Or rather someone.
However, as time went on, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened because his eyes couldn’t find a figure that was usually so easy for him to find.
.....
Where was that woman?
The bar manager rushed to greet him and bowed respectfully before him.
“Master, welcome.”
While greeting Christian, the manager felt admiration for Ella. He watched everyone who walked into his bar, especially someone important like Christian.
He saw Christian immediately looking for someone as soon as he entered.
No need to bother guessing, what Christian was looking for must be Ella. Only Ella could attract Christian’s attention like this.
The manager lifts his head and looks around, helping Christian to find Ella. But what made him even more panicked was, no matter where his eyes looked, he couldn’t find Ella.
Christian stopped walking and asked in a deep voice. “Where’s Ella?”
Shouldn’t that woman have rushed out to greet him with her usual smile by now? Shouldn’t she be clinging to him coyly, as usual?
Why was she avoiding him again?
Thinking about it, Christian’s face darkened. His whole figure was covered with anger.
The manager standing beside Christian tried his best to deal with the pressure coming from the man beside him while wondering where Ella had gone.
Fera stood and watched Christian’s arrival with sweaty palms. Even though she had repeatedly rubbed her hand against her shirt, her hands were still wet.
Damn, didn’t Lisa say that woman means nothing to Christian? Why did the man come now?
If anything happened, she and Lisa would suffer the consequences!
At the thought of this, her face immediately became panicked, out of control.
Maybe other people don’t know, but Fera knew very well what kind of men were with Ella right now.
The more she thought about it, the more sweat poured out. Not only on the palm of her hand, but also Fera’s forehead.
Lisa was no less nervous, but she tried to stay calm. Everything had happened and quite a long time had passed. What could Christian do even if he came? She was sure it was too late.
When it’s all over, Christian would get even more disgusted with that damn woman.
Lisa’s heart calmed down when she was sure that she had succeeded. She looked at Fera and signaled her friend to stay calm.
Fera took a deep breath, but she still couldn’t calm herself down. She whispered to Lisa, “Lisa, aren’t you afraid of Christian?”
Fera had heard of Christian’s cruelty. She was afraid that this time she would fall victim for it.
Lisa smiled calmly and her eyes were filled with hatred when she talked about Ella. “How long has she been there?”
The one she meant here was Ella.
“Half an hour.”
“So half an hour. Do you think those three men haven’t jumped on her already?”
After hearing that, Fera also felt more optimistic. It seemed her worries were unfounded.
Just as she was about to say something, the bar manager called her.
“Have you seen Ella?” asked the manager.
He thought maybe Ella was bored from not being able to receive guests and went elsewhere in the bar. After all, Ella belonged to Christian and no one would dare touch her.
“No,” she answered quickly. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the man in front of her.
The aura emanating from Christian was too strong, making her want to disappear.
Christian tilted his head and his eyes darkened. “Lying is a bad habit.”
Those words made Fera’s legs feel so weak that she felt like falling on her knees on the floor.
“Sir, I really don’t know.”
Lisa, who was standing on the side, immediately approached Fera quickly. She complained in her heart and cursed Fera as a stupid woman.
She couldn’t even lie a little!
Lisa stopped in front of Christian and lowered her head as she said very sincerely, “Just now, Ella was drinking wine. Fera and I were discussing something. All of a sudden, she disappeared.”
Her voice sounded very calm.
To protect guests’ privacy, there were no cameras in the room. Even if Christian wanted to investigate it, he wouldn’t be able to find anything.
“Then, Jason...” Christian called his assistant in a low voice. “Search all the rooms.”
Christian couldn’t believe a woman could just disappear without a trace.
The manager immediately responded and ordered Lisa and her colleagues. “Quickly look for her in the bathroom. Maybe Ella is inside.”
“Okay.”
Lisa immediately took Fera with her to the women’s bathroom.
“Fera, we will suffer if you are like this!”
Lisa took a deep breath and looked at Fera who was still sweating. She looked at her with an annoyed look.
“I know, I know,” Fera was also annoyed, but she wouldn’t be able to deal with the pressure from Christian. “But the person we are dealing with is Christian”
Fera knew that she didn’t have the advantage like Lisa. She did not have the beauty and charming appearance like Lisa. Her luck was not as good as Lisa.
Christian would not forgive her.
“I already told you. Christian won’t care about that woman anymore.”
Lisa looked at Fera with a fierce look. As soon as she turned around, she saw her manager’s serious face. Behind the manager was the figure of a man she was afraid of.
“Sir...”
Lisa swallowed her saliva and her whole body was shaking violently.
Christian’s cold gaze swept across her body and he spoke word by word slowly, “Why are you controlling which women I care about or not?”
“No... I...”
Lisa didn’t know what to say. She was literally scared to death now that Christian looked at her coldly.
This time, Christian asked once again, “Where’s Ella?”
His tone sounded as if it was a warning sign that great danger was imminent.
